Love the New A3 Etron : Great for urban driver

Previously owned the A3 TDI, attracted to another green alt choice in the hatchback/Sportback style. Didn't like the sedan only option of the A3, but when they brought it back, I gave it a serious look. I expected to buy an A4 but this brought me back to an A3 after test driving.
2013 vs 2017 A3: Great features standard as described. More comfortable seats, great cockpit/cluster, and a lot more quiet on the highway. Modern electronics are nice: back up camera, pre-sense, controls. Nice exterior styling. Don't like over-paying for extra features. Just added heated seats.
eMPG: Where do they get 83 eMPG. No way on that. I've put on 1000 miles and my combined is 50 eMPG. I'll take that. This car is made for short urban trips that I can do all EV mode...all electric mode. Lots effect max range. Most report 16 miles...but I'm only getting 12-14 miles but depends on how many electronics are at play: heat/AC, radio, etc. But it works for me. Only 5 mile commute to work, and Saturday errands. When longer trips are at play, car goes hybrid mode and if full charge, will get around 63 eMPG for a 40-50 mile trip. 35 mpg gas/hybrid (or when the battery is depleted) is right on. Some reviews say handling is clumsy...not so, even though it adds like 500 pounds. Still drives great. Torque is solid with combo electronic and gas motors working very well together.
Not for everybody, but I am digging it. Especially for the price. KKB is right on with the pricing. So, if you get it for around $38,500, - fed. tax credit, you're at $34,000 plus the $950 destination charge and probably another $400-500 for licensing, etc. = $35,500. Audi loyalty discount took another $1000 off and I also had an airbag in the previous A3, so got another $5000 off if I financed. That took it down to $29,500...no brainer. Throw in the VW settlement payout of $27K for the old TDI...new car for $2500. So, heck yes.…

Automotive Best Kept Secret

I am first and foremost a car guy. I love the classics. I have owned MB, Porsche, BMW, Escalade, Hummer H2, F250 and more.
I am only marginally a greenie. I love the tech of the car, but most of all I love the design, function, value (bought it heavily discounted at year end) balance.
Don't worry about the 21 mile range. the pure EV mode can be selected or the charge can be apportioned by the system controls. The design is borderline eclectic and highly functional.…

I have had this car for a year now! It does Not drive like my 2010 Prius was getting 55mpg and over 525 miles range! It drives like a its on rails! But MPG ! That also is not like my Prius! 23 to 27 MPG and 300 miles range is something that I was expecting out of an A3 not a Plug In! Do I like this car .....Yes! would I buy another one ...... No! 20 mile electric range....Sure if you live somewhere flat.…
